Assessment Tools 

Many tools now exist for measuring the impact of ICT in education, either in the form of online questionnaires, printable forms, charts or frameworks. Respondents are similarly diverse: teachers, administrative staff, educational leaders or can even be the students themselves. Often self-assessment based, tools assess staff skills in technology, levels of ICT integration into lessons, student improvement due to ICT use and attitudes, amongst other issues.
